The documentary movie about the trials (literally) and tribulations of the team behind The Pirate Bay is to be released on 8 February. It will premiere at 5pm CET (4pm UK time) at the International Film Festival in Berlin and streamed simultaneously online for free.

In addition, perhaps in part to in a nod to the ideology of its subject matter, you will also be able to download it for free, share it and remix it as part of a Creative Commons licence. "I want my films to be seen by as many people as possible," says director Simon Klose, during an announcement clip posted online.

"My problem is that a normal copyright would become an obstacle between me and my audience, so that's why I'm releasing it with a free licence."

The Pirate Bay Away from the Keyboard - to give it its full title - follows the founders of the most infamous torrent site, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde & Fredrik Neij, as they cope after they are found guilty in one of the world's biggest copyright infringement cases, and how they managed to keep the site alive throughout.

Partly funded through Kickstarter, its release was delayed by the Swedish Supreme Court's decision that the founders' original sentences should stand. But it is now ready for human consumption.
